I'm pretty new to the networking world. While I don't run a huge and complex network in a service provider market. We're just an enterprise network. I have read a lot of useful info about networking from the nanog list. But I do have to say that when I speak to the designers and
such at larger companies and I mention NANOG most of them brush it off and say "The NANOG people are the past and what they have to say doesn't matter anymore". That's the general feel I get from others when it concerns NANOG.
Sounds like a strong and well-made argument. Instead of coming up with responses to individual points your detractors are making, wipe them off the table in one fell swoop by declaring its proponents out of touch. I wish I was unscrupulous enough to get away with it too... -- Niels. I didn't say I listened to them.
